DFRPG / Re: Dresden Files - M&M Style
« on: April 14, 2009, 12:05:32 AM »I hate to say it, but I think that 4th ed might be a tighter fit. I think the at will/ conflict/ per day thing might work well to model some of the conflicts in the books. Harry tends to rely on a lot of the same meat and potatoes spells. When shit hits the fan, he busts out a smaller variety of more powerful effects. When shit really, well, and truly hits the fan, he busts out some of the really powerful effects. It also has the advantage of giving everyone a couple of cool things each even at starting level.
This is why I love using Mutants and Masterminds. Basically Harry has a few spells (you'll see soon, he's actually been a bear and a half to stat up correctly) in a defined magic array. Those rare things he uses? Those are power stunts he uses from all those hero points he gets from the countless complications he has. The really powerful effects? Every notice how he gets really tired after that? He slaps the Tiring flaw on the spell to get more points out of it and really pull out a powerful bash.
And just to whet some appetites, here's the Wizard Template:
Wizard Traits (Container, Passive 3) (Power Feats: Innate)
Soul Gaze (Super-Senses 8) (Postcognition, Precognition; Flaws: Limited (Subject You Gaze), Range (Touch), Side-Effect 2 (Always - Subject Gets to Soul Gaze You); Power Feats: Perfect Recall; Descriptors: Magic, Psychic)
Enhanced Recovery (Regeneration 4) (Recovery Bonus 4 (+4 to Recover); Power Feats: Regrowth, Persistent; Descriptors: Biological, Magic)
Wizard Sight (Super-Senses 14) (Precognition (Flaw: Uncontrolled), True Sight; Flaws: Check Required (Concentration), Side-Effect (Sometimes - Psychic Scarring); Power Feats: Perfect Recall; Descriptors: Magic, Mind)
Boosted Immune System (Immunity 2) (Aging, Disease; Flaws: Limited - Half Effect)
New Power Feat
Perfect Recall: You can remember everything you see or experience with this power as if you had the Eidetic Memory feat, but without the need to actually make a roll to recall the information. Anything you see or learn with a power using this feat stays with you forever, for good or ill.
Just a few notes on this. It was actually harder to mimic the basic attributes of fully-fledged wizards than I thought, but in the end I think this works really well. The Soul Gaze was interesting, as I almost was going to use Mind Reading, but I think that post and precognition work a lot better. Those powers are rather symbolic anyway, so it was a nice fit. The touch range is simply to denote that you have to be very close to your subject to use it. The enhanced recover is interesting, as wizard's don't really heal any faster than anyone else, they just heal more reliability (the recovery bonus) and they can recover from things most people can't (Regrowth and Persistent). Due to a quirk of the M&M rules, they probably heal faster than Harry actually does, but it's a pretty close match.
The Boosted Immune system mimics the slow aging of wizards and the fact that I've never once actually seen one of them sick (that I can remember). Well, Harry might have been sick once or twice, but that was overwork I think. But that's why it's limited to half effect. Actually, the Sight was the easiest thing to mimic for me. They just get True Sight and an uncontrolled Precognition once the sight begins to "come in." I would model the Psychic Scarring as a Mental Stun effect at a level equal to the Power Level of the nasty thing you saw. So minor horrors you can save against pretty easily, but things like Shagnasty are going to throw you for a loop.

« on: April 20, 2007, 07:49:38 AM »Argh. So I picked up a copy of Mutants & Masterminds at a bookstore and now realize that it is 1E. Is the 2E version different enough that I should spend even more money, or can I get by with 1E?
If you have a receipt, I would recommend taking the book back and getting the 2nd ed version. Not that 1st edition is bad, per say - but 2nd really improved a lot of things that needed improving. I think it's worth switching, but it's good enough that you could get by with first.

« on: April 19, 2007, 06:20:18 AM »Very nice! Keep 'em coming!
I may use these in an upcoming campaign. I was uncertain as to which system to use, but M&M is really nice because of the way they handle powers and such.
Surprisingly, it handles the dresden-verse pretty darn well, actually. I'll have to dig around my massive number of text files, and see if I can't find my Dresden-verse M&M templates. I have templates for Wizard, White Court Vampire, Black Court Vampire, Red Court Vampire, and Changeling. Mostly they're just a package deal you buy that gives you all the common abilities (like wizards all get soulgaze (which I'm still not quite happy with how I have it) and wizard's sight, for example).
It's not foolproof by any means, and I think the Dresden RPG is going to be a much better fit, but it does work pretty nicely.

Well, I finally finished Michael - and he was harder to do than I thought. I had to spend a few days scouring the books, looking for just what Amoracchius could do, power wise. I think I probably missed a few things, but the basic set up is pretty good. It's actually fairly cheap, power-wise. As for Michael, he's a fanny-kicking mamba jamba even without the sword. He's more or less a riff off the weapons-master archetype, with a few tweaks. The biggest one is his luck - which in this case is divine intervention. Given his rather nasty drawbacks, he should always have plenty of hero points to pull off one time power "miracles" or to be in the right place at the right time. Actually, the DM is probably fiating him being in the right place, which actually earns him another hero point. His well informed feat represents the wide nation of churchs, that and he always seems to be where he needs to be. All in all, I'm happy with how he turned out.

Well, here's Murphy in all her glory. I decided in PL 8 for her, as she's a mortal, but a tough mortal. Her only power really isn't a power, it's just a result of her excellent martial arts training. I think she turned out pretty well myself. Nothing too big going on, really, but she works well and can kick some tail.

« on: April 16, 2007, 06:31:28 AM »Dang it! they always do that to me. I start playing a game and then they release a new edition. It happened with shadowrun, and now this. hopefully MNM 2e isn't going to be the bastardization Shadowrun 4e ended up being.
Actually, the second edition is so much smoother and better than the first. It fixed a lot of problems with some powers and how things were bought, and it's also nice. Plus power level no longer determines how many ranks in a power you can take (though it still does if the power does damage, as damage rating is still mostly capped by power level, unless you trade off attack bonus for damage bonus).
I highly recommend the second edition.

« on: April 11, 2007, 02:08:55 AM »small problem with your dresden. His two stats of 22 cannot be. 20 is the max stat for a human without powers that enhance an attribute. I'll let it slide for mouse because he's a dog.
That may have been true in 1e, but in 2e they've done away with that rather arbitrary distinction. Heck, 24-25 is now considered to be the peak of human achievement. Plus, Harry isn't quite "mortal", at least by comic book standards. Still, thanks for pointing that out.

So, here's my first shot at stating up Harry, Bob, and Mouse. It takes a lot of effort, so it's probably going to take me a little while to get the rest of the characters. Harry is probably a bit too spendy, but I wanted him to be at about the power level he showed around the book Proven Guilty/White Night. I've deliberately avoided adding powers that show up only in the latest book.
I think that most things worked out well - I was proud of how I worked out wizard's sight and the soulgaze. I've left out one glaring complication in Harry's sheet - Laschiel. I wasn't sure how to stat "her" up, honestly. I think she would probably be a complication myself, but she does add some benefits as well. In the end, I decided just to have her be "DM fiat", and left it at that.
The only thing I couldn't handle with this system was the accelerated healing of wizards. I've decided that it's really just Harry using a hero point to duplicate the Regeneration power in fits and spurts.
And to those of you who say he doesn't have near enough magic, I think that 99% of most of his magic is actually just a good use of the Artificer or Ritualist feat (I mean, he even says ritual magic is his specialty). With his boatload of complications, Harry is rarely without a spare hero point to fuel this feat.
Up next...Micheal

So, here's my first shot at stating up Harry, Bob, and Mouse. It takes a lot of effort, so it's probably going to take me a little while to get the rest of the characters. Harry is probably a bit too spendy, but I wanted him to be at about the power level he showed around the book Proven Guilty/White Night. I've deliberately avoided adding powers that show up only in the latest book.
I think that most things worked out well - I was proud of how I worked out wizard's sight and the soulgaze. I've left out one glaring complication in Harry's sheet - Laschiel. I wasn't sure how to stat "her" up, honestly. I think she would probably be a complication myself, but she does add some benefits as well. In the end, I decided just to have her be "DM fiat", and left it at that.
The only thing I couldn't handle with this system was the accelerated healing of wizards. I've decided that it's really just Harry using a hero point to duplicate the Regeneration power in fits and spurts.
And to those of you who say he doesn't have near enough magic, I think that 99% of most of his magic is actually just a good use of the Artificer or Ritualist feat (I mean, he even says ritual magic is his specialty). With his boatload of complications, Harry is rarely without a spare hero point to fuel this feat.
Up next...Micheal
(Mods: I tried really, really hard to avoid any sort of spoiler information with my mechanics, but if you think this belongs somewhere else, please move it).
